Janitor on Sup Forums.
But at least the pay is great, so there's that.

damn, that shit sounds fucked up. give it to the deep learning algorithm instead.

wtf is microsoft online safety team? article was vague about it.

They should have fapped to it to help with the PTSD.

>Microsoft online safety team
Just a fancy term to justify that they track you to keep you """"safe""""

Probably just censoring shit that's reported on Bing or Microsoft message boards

The point is that the humans verify what the deep NNs pick up so that they don't flag false positives as illegal content.

do these people have a similar job as the main character from that VN that krautchan made?

I actually left a forensics job in law enforcement after a couple months because of this. I can handle gore all day but the kid stuff really got to me and toward the end I was feeling suicidal. I wasn't a door kicker, but we did go in right behind those guys sometimes and seeing the perpetrators was tough since we knew beforehand what they had done. There are some really good people doing those jobs, but it takes an incredibly resilient personality to handle that kind of stuff every day. I felt like a husk after just a few weeks doing it; "stare into the abyss too long and it will stare back" kind of deal. Special selection and screening for certain personality traits should be done before people are allowed to do this work, but unfortunately the pool of people already in these positions is small enough as to make it difficult to get a "baseline" of the traits that make a person able to last in jobs like these. Rotating out people when they start to exhibit signs of distress is important too, since I don't know of anyone who lasts forever doing this besides the "content creators", who are mostly sociopaths or otherwise are unaffected by it.

>CP and murders
So an average day on Sup Forums? How can viewing images give someone PTSD? What a bunch of weak faggots.

it's funny because 80% of would do this work for free :^)

They make sure you don't see pictures of children being raped by adults on Bing image search.

This. I'm already mostly a husk. The only thing that slightly gets to me anymore is animal torture.

What was the worst thing you saw?

Sup Forums is pretty tame compared to onion sites

it is now. it wasn't always like this.

Pretty much what they discuss in the article. I'd rather not go into too much detail here, but sometimes I had to remind myself that "only seeing tame stuff" on some days was still far beyond the realm of what we consider normal. When you work in that kind of environment, the criminal behavior becomes the new normal and you have to remember when you go home to not take work with you, because most people aren't extreme deviants who take pleasure in doing indescribable things.

>How can viewing images give someone PTSD?
easily, when there's cash involved.

how can i get job like that? it sounds easy and idc about seeing gross things

tbf onion sites have become pretty tame as well

have you ever seen an anime called 'psycho pass'? if not, you should watch it. Stop after end of first season tho, the direction team changes and the quality nosedives.

>Free CP and money
Where do I sign up?

>there are jobs where they pay people to watch CP all day

Sounds like a good job for a pedo

Same story about google was going around years before, only this time they sued Microsoft.
Fucking weak ass faggots.

Imagine, Sup Forums there's a job where you're actually paid to view CP
You now have a goal in life

Get a job at geek squad, apparently FBI pays them to report on CP, so I guess CP comes up a lot when they're fixing machines

We knew that. When someone like Thad gets caught, the evidence goes to police who have to sit there and determine if something is really child porn

They should just hire psychopaths.

Why don't they just offshore the work to India or another country where they don't give a fuck about worker health?

>Online safe team
>Gets ptsd
The ironing

How is that ironic? You put yourself in hamrs' way so others don't become victims. That's like saying a police officer getting injured is ironic because they are tasked with street safety.

What the fuck is next janitors complaining the shits they had to clean were too smelly?
Every little thing is ptsd now for fucks sake, they were on an online safety team what did they expect? As much as I dislike Microsoft I hope those faggots suing lose hard

Thad was a retard who posted about having CP and being a pedo on tumblr and Facebook and Twitter.

They careful screen so nobody they hire gets aroused by it in the slightest.

>look at me! I'm so strong-minded and mature from watching videos on Sup Forums, I don't have any feelings xD, I'm totally superior!

Damn, I miss being an edgy 16 year old.

How do they do that? Show you some shit and watch your dick? Ask if you like anime?

>Blauert suffered a physical and mental breakdown in 2013 when he was experiencing “intractable crying, insomnia, anxiety and PTSD”, the suit said. He is now triggered by adults who look like “potential abusers” and “fears for the safety of children he meets”. He is also unable to look at any “child related content” on computers and has not returned to work due to the triggers, according to the complaint.

>boo hoo i thought i can make ez money just looking at the pictures of ponies and rainbows but it was actual graphical violence


yeah, okay. Some people can't handle that kind of work. Next candidate, please.
Such jobs have been around fucking forever, and they do require you to be strong-minded so you wouldn't give up and literally cry about it.

sounds horrible. where do I sign up?

So if there's something horrible that you come across, do you have to watch all of it? And if so, why? If someone told me to find all the CP in a list of videos, and one video starts off with a child being abused, that shit is getting reported right away. Fuck watching the rest of it; I've seen enough to know that there is bad shit in that video. I don't need to sit through two hours of whatever that Daisy video involved "just to make sure"; I'm ticking the CP box at the first opportunity and moving on.

Wouldn't that protect me from plenty of shit? If a guy has one CP photo on his computer, I'll tell the Feds and let them look at the rest.

I don't watch anime, but I just looked it up and it sounds kind of like Minority Report. Seems interesting.

The distribution of psychopaths in police departments is already a fair bit higher than the general population, and I worked with a few.

A lot of videos build up to an actual criminal act, but technically the people in the videos aren't breaking the law until a certain point (even if you know exactly what's going to happen):
>His job involved assisting law enforcement in breaking up “crime rings” and “violent groups” and required him to view “many thousands of photographs and videos” of violence and brutality.
If your job is to report violations immediately, you might get away with seeing just the start of some really horrible shit. If your job is to identify perpetrators, victims, and locations along with documenting all the criminal acts in a video, you pretty much have to watch the entire thing. Most teams that do this have multiple monitors and special media players that split the videos into multiple segments and play them simultaneously in separate boxes within the player. This helps cut down on time if the video is, say, an hour long and you're not sure if it's going to be illegal. Sometimes videos would start off completely innocuous (we already knew they were going to be abusive), with a backyard being filmed for example, before they became absolutely horrifying.

ptsd is a myth, you fucking retards.

Remember that 13 yo girl you picked up on omegle, then took her to skype to see her private parts?

Long story short: you're in big trouble.

I'll take that job. No pedo.

except they don't do that, they pass it on to the filth or some gov agency who then do it. microsoft only have to pass it on.
guy was probably just a faglord wanting cash.

How is this even fucking legal? I know the defense department/FBI/etc all do the same shit but they're a law enforcement agency.

edgy is a really cool word I'm actually really glad you put that there. You sound like a really funny guy.

Microsoft provide the fingerprinting software and services that major search engines, ISPs and law enforcement use to detect and block CP.

I'd take that job, I'm an edgelord who doesn't feel anything for people. Just don't make me look at abused dogs.

Different government agencies contract with Microsoft and other companies for this kind of stuff. There are MS employees working as contractors within the FBI, and FBI agents assigned within MS. The people who develop the tools that law enforcement uses also provide support and consulting on the use of the tools.
